In this episode, we sit down with Dan Gonzalez, CEO & Co-Founder of District C, to explore how real-world problem solving, collaborative teamwork, and educator coaching are redefining what it means to prepare students for the modern workforce. Dan shares how District C's innovative Teamship model connects students with local businesses to tackle authentic challenges, while the Coaching Institute equips educators to guide and grow the team-based skills that employers need most—skills that humanize us in an AI-driven economy. From expanding equitable access to work-based learning during the school day to making school–industry partnerships simple and scalable, this conversation offers a powerful look at how we can build the next generation of diverse, workforce-ready talent.
